FAQs
Can I use this pump for gasoline?
No, this pump is specifically designed for diesel, kerosene, and transformer oil. Using it with gasoline poses a significant fire risk.
What is the maximum flow rate?
The pump can deliver up to 60 liters per minute under optimal conditions.
Does the kit come with hoses?
The kit typically includes the pump, flow meter, and automatic nozzle; please verify specific package contents upon delivery.
Is this unit suitable for mobile use?
While it can be mounted on tanks, it requires a constant power supply and is best suited for stationary or semi-stationary industrial setups.
How often should I clean the system?
Regularly inspect the intake filter for debris and clean it as needed to prevent flow restriction.
Troubleshooting
Pump motor is running but no fuel is flowing
Check for air leaks in the intake hose or ensure the intake is fully submerged in the fluid source.
Flow rate is lower than expected
Check the filter for clogs or blockages and ensure the inlet hose diameter is not restricted.
Automatic nozzle cuts off too early
Verify that the nozzle is correctly angled and that there is no back-pressure in the delivery line.
